Her uncle lives in pittsburgh and he invited my 4 kids to go to the monday night football game with him because they are his only nephews and niece. They are in the club level. Should i let her go? Her brothers have been to many before but this is her first one? She is six and her brothers are 9,9, and 13.

Yes. But make sure you tell the uncle to keep her close. But i think (if you trust him) you could do that

If she wants to go, will enjoy the game- if you trust the uncle. Let the kiddos go and have fun. Assuming he's a good guy, what an opportunity.
Six is young to really be there and enjoy the game, but each child is different. Use the Mom judgement to decide-you know your kids best.
If you say no, sounds like Unc is a decent guy and will be active in the kids life, so it's not like it's the last opportunity to do something fun with him or the fam!

Do you really think a 6 year old little girl is gonna like a football game? or for that matter, enjoy her self or even want to pay attention and wanna sit still?
Unless she is a big time football fan or is really insistant on going, I think you should wait at least 2 years before she go of with out you, and then she will have more of an understanding of the game and choose whether she even likes this kind of activity or not.

6 is a little young to go on an outing to such a big place with only the uncle as an adult along. If he invites you or another adult you can trust, it might not be too bad-but in that big crowd, there are just too many things that could happen while everyone is excited and jumping around. How about a Mommy and me night with just you and the daughter? Take her out for burgers or an ice cream treat. Do something just for her, so she doesnt feel left out.

No!!!! I really wish I had seen this question before. I have been to many Steeler game in the vip boxes. Once you are there it is safe and fine. But on the way you really have to hold on tight. It is very crowded. Luckily you can simply hop on the escalators and make your way up to the club level but I still would be very nervous sending my 6 year old daughter without me. My daughter hasn't gone yet. I will probably wait until she is about 13 before I take her to a game in the box.
I hope that everything went well.
all the best!

I think she may be a bit young to go a game like that. If you were going, you could keep an eye on her, but with another family member (I'm assuming doesn't have kids, since he is taking yours), he may not be prepared for how quickly she can get away from him (or, heaven forbid, someone taking her away).
The club level is nice, but there are still crowds to walk through.
I would base my decision on the experience he has with small children, too. He may be used children her age. If he is, then I say to tell the boys to watch her, too. Kind of a "big kid" assignment.

Does she like football? Or would she like to just be included? Or would it not be better if he did something more to a 6 yr old girls liking? Depends on her and what she likes: football or shopping with a fun uncle, or being taken to a meal just with this uncle (if he hates shopping).
But nothing wrong with her going if she wants to. Let her make the final decision; she may hate it and want to go only one time. Or you may have introduced her to something she will like forever.
Good for uncle. Cheers, man.

AS long as you trust the uncle, yes let her go. Tell the 13 yr old to help keep an eye on her. She might like that very much.

Does she like football? If not, that's a LONG time for her to be expected to sit and watch it.
I wouldn't take a kid that age to a football game, because I'd think they'd be bored and spoil it for the older ones. Also, what time of the night does it finish? Is she used to staying up that late, or will she get tired and crotchety?

If you trust the uncle, then perhaps. It WOULD be necessary I'd say for her brothers to be there, if I had a six year old I wouldn't want them to go out alone with anybody aside of perhaps my parents. In the end, you have to go on your instinct, every parent is said to have it. If you decide not to let her go, the world won't be over.

well honestly why would u ask this on yahoo? u know your family better than we do! is the uncle trustworthy or will he just get pay attention to the game and not her! i'm guessing that this uncle is either your brother or your husbands brother! if i were you i would let her go because i would trust my brother or brother in law! but its up to you! whatever u think will be best!
